what pressures are people running in their tyres for quarter miling? Have been told its better to run lower than normal so you get more grip?

Its true, my supposedly fast Cup was out classed by a VTS! Coming back to work at lunch I saw a nice black saxo scream up behind me. didnt think anything of it til he pulled out to overtake. I went to counter but totally missed the gear and after a loud crunch he was gone! I know it was...

Just picked my car up after having one of these fitted. The reason for doing this was I couldnt be bothered to wait for the R-Sport upgrade and these were rated very highly and it was running lean after having my Viper kit fitted. I have to say after looking at the dyno print out im...

Finally managed to gt round to doing some pictures after I fitted my new Viper kit today... http://homepage.ntlworld.com/c.malin/piperx.jpghttp://homepage.ntlworld.com/c.malin/piperx.jpg http://homepage.ntlworld.com/c.malin/cup.jpghttp://homepage.ntlworld.com/c.malin/cup.jpg Ok, its not...

Have just bought one of these from K-Tec. Just need to know if its the same as fitting a standard induction kit or are there any special requirements? Also will it be beneficial getting a heat shield? Ta

Can someone settle this for me please. Im right in thinking that a Cup comes in blue, no other colour Oui ou Non?

Hi, Ive just had an email saying that they would do an engine conversion for my Cup. This seems to include a remapped ECU, exhaust and induction kit. It was reatailing at £1250 inc fitting which seems a little steep to me? Has anyone had one of these fitted to a 172 and are they worth the...

Just spoke to David at K-Tec who has told me that my Titanium exhaust wont be ready until the end of March now! Im gutted by this but I guess life goes on. Does anyone know of a REALLY good system that will make good benefits as a part of larger modifications. Ive heard Hayward and Scott...

I think my car might be broken but im not really too sure? Its been pulling a lot when under any sort of acceleration but to no particular side. Its always been a case of hold on tight when I plant the right foot but I assumed that was torque steer although I wasnt sure? Just over the last...

Who ever went into K-Tec who said they are the area rep for those parts then the lady on the desk said you her owe some details on joining! I just phoned up for my exhaust and she was none to happy with the Sangy!

Right. Ive got so bored of waiting for the R-sport upgrades Ive requested a quote on the following from K-Tec for my Cup. S/S Exhaust system, Decat pipe, Vipe Induction kit, Upgrade chip. First question is to have this sort of application am I missing anything? Secondly how easy are...

The missus has decided she wants to up sticks and emigrate some in the next year or so. After seeing the lovely golf courses out there Ive agreed to go aswell! Am also taking my Clio over as the Cup will be one of a kind over there! Just wondering if we have any Cliosport members from down...

Hope I havent bitten off more than I can chew! Ive arranged a "friendly" race between my Cup ( minus all my I.C.E ) and my good mates CTR at the Pod early next year. On paper it all looks quite even but what are peoples thoughts on me chances. I know that this is a Clio forum and everyone...

I have just been sent this from a mate of mine who I think got it from Scoobynet...whats the score with this?? I know for a fact that 172s come out of the factory with worrying variations in power outputs! At a recent ClioSport rr day the lowest 172 came out at <130BHP@wheels, and the...

Arse.... Only got my Cup on Tuesday and was looking forward to the weekend to see what it could REALLY do! Saturday morning was fine, gave it a good roasting, even surprised the sh*te out of a 330Ci as I roared off from some lights! Its true what they say about this thing, its F*CKING...

After a couple of days of constant driving Ive just taken the paper out from the footwells of my brand new car and discovered that there are no mats! Are there any good Clio 172 mats I could get? Guess asking for Cup ones would be far too much to ask? My dealer is as tight as a ducks...

not sure if anyone suffers from this but had a little bit of an incident the other day.... ( I dont feel great about this but did chuckle afterwards! ) I was driving home from work in a foul mood and went to go round a mini roundabout. There were two teenagers on bikes who just went...

Hi, Have been specking up a new system for my car. Ive already got a Sony active black CDX-M630 headunit and a CD changer but am looking to get the rest sorted out. Ive planned to go for a 12" 1000W Magnat sub run by a specific Magant excite Amp and a second Excite amp to run the JBl 6x9s...

Friend and I are looking into getting a cheap yet quick car which we can do up for Track and quarter mile days and as a bit of a hobby. not bothered on what it is, just as long as its quick! Was looking at an old cossie but they are still quite pricey. A R5GTT Raider looks the best bet at...
